Adobe Air - What it means for developers

Adobe Air 1.0 was recently released and developers should put their lunch break or some downtime to reviewing this latest software release from Adobe. While Adobe Air requires a download so users can utilize the software - it provides an added bonus of Flash that could have some developers quite excited. With Adobe Air you can develop rich desktop applications that utilize web based data systems. This type of technology is perfect for people like real estate agents, sales representatives or anyone else who might find it useful to work in an offline/online mode. Some downsides to this software package are the current lack of support for Linux, but good news for Linux users and enthusiasts alike as Adobe has committed to releasing the software on the Linux platform by the end of 2008. I highly recommend any developer takes five minutes out of their day to review this technology and keep it in mind with future projects.

If you have any good Adobe Air development sites, articles or tips feel free to post them below in the comments.
